So in addition to Fruitpochette losing half of its membership, sister/trainee groups nanoCUNE and AiCune are losing out, too.

There’s obviously something going on. The Alice Project underwent a mass defection that began about a year ago and led to huge restructuring up and down the roster, but that was because of a lot of member dissatisfaction; this sounds like a combination of changing management priorities and, at least in the case of Mina, possibly conflict with talent as a result.

This is sucky. At first glance, it does sound like Fruitpochette is going to keep going, albeit differently, and we may find out how at that graduation performance on March 26.

If you’re hip to any of the motivation/reason here, I’d love to hear from you.

to the best of my translation abilities-
Ayu left nanoCUNE because 1) felt isolated from her classmates as she transitioned into High School 2) Was having problems with management and other members? 3) Was thinking of the future and wants to become a manicurist 4) She also started feeling injuries from dances, and she was becoming fatigued to the point she wanted to skip school the next day….

That’s the best I can translate her Blog 🙁 I <3 Ayu she will be greatly missed..
